I thought base quantities are defined as independent quantity.

But I realized Electrical Current which usually notated as I for variabel name and A (Ampere) as Unit is defined as Electrical Charge / Time. So that's mean electrical current is dependent toward Electrical Charge and Time.

This is analogy with Velocity that derived (dependen) from Length and Time.

While Electrical Charge that usually notated as Q as variabel name and C (coulomb) as unit is independent, why doesn't the convention categorize it as base quantity?enter image description here

    A base quantity (or basic quantity) is chosen and arbitrarily defined, rather than being derived from a combination of other physical quantities. Also here 's a link to a similar question link – Aarushi Agarwal Mar 17 '22 at 05:36
